FORD OUR
GREATEST THEOLOGIAN
Dear Ritchie
Please find enclosed a cheque for $100.00. Thanks for sending the Good News for Adventists magazine. A friend must have put my name in. I appreciate your publication and your writing.
I was saddened to read that Dr. and Sis. Ford are no longer SDAs. As time goes by I am confident that Des will be seen as one of the great heroes of Adventism. It is just tragic that he is allowed to grow old without an apology.
The last time I met Des was in J’s house in Townsville. I cannot forget J’s confident verdict: ‘Burnside is our greatest evangelist and Ford our greatest theologian.’ Amen to that!
We remember the good old days, Ritchie.
E joins me in saying ‘Hello.’
Be of good cheer in the Lord.
J. & E.

Dear J & E
Many thanks for your donation. It is appreciated.
I, too, have fond memories of the past, but I reckon these days are better for proclaiming the gospel. People seem more ready to listen now.
God bless you both
Ritchie.
